Until a few weeks ago, the Home Page of LdF had the announcement of the White Faery Blanche due in January 2004. Now it's gone.

I know PierreVerte posted a photo of the label on La Fee Verte (this one won't be under the Emile Pernot name, evidently) but didn't give any information on when pre-orders will be accepted.

Now that I'm greedy & want to louche on work nights, I am really looking forward to a blanche with a lower alchohol content; maybe then I won't have so much trouble getting dinner on the table at a reasonable time!

Why do you want a lower alcool concentration booze??it's just the same booze cuted with water. You're paying for water!!!

it's scheduled to be ready to order by mid-january.

>it's just the same booze cuted with water. You're paying for water!!!

not quite.

however, if people don't think that it is an improvement over and/or a compliment to the 68° blanche,
LDF won't keep it.


and it's 'Fairy' NOT 'Faery'!

That would be the Queen's English ... both are correct. That's like saying, it's not La Fee, it's Fairy!

DG

I think what he means is that it don't read "faery" on the label. It is a product name, and it's "White Fairy"

Good point. Guess I should have looked before pronouncing judgment. Ah, hell ... why change now?

DG

Did somebody say "Fairy?"

I'll try anything LdF creates.

The Gentiane is superb! The Fouge is good too... but I question the prevalence of the minty flavor, which almost eclipses the green anis to the point where it's somewhat 'mouthwashy'.

Though it's not at all on the order of Gruene Fee, a bottle of which I received as an unintended "free gift" from a vendor...

Okay, I gotta know ... WTF is up with this guy, and why does he dress up like that? I mean, there must be more than a dozen images of this geek in various stages of ...um... how shall I say, dress. So what's the deal?

DG

It's Fluffy!

My apologies, Pierre, for some reason I had remembered the English spelling on your label. I guess I need to drink more!

Thanks so much for updating us on this; as others have noted, if it's an LdF product, I'm definitely going to try it!

Say no more.

DG

Please?

I'm glad to see those pictures of me again. Perhaps it's time for an avatar switch again?

<raises hand>

Mr. chairperson, I vote no.

DG

Is anyone else getting hit by this piss US$? I just
got 3 of the same old, and got OZ-amasized.

"Faery" is not, contrary to what folks here seem to think, the acceptable UK English spelling of fairy - it's an archaic, obsolete spelling originating from Spenser's 1590 "The Faerie Queen".

Its generally regarded as annoying and twee in the UK, and is almost never used there, except when referring to Spenser's work.

Its modern resurrection is entirely due to the US new-age and fantasy communities, who mistakingly believe that its use conveys old world charm.

What's "twee?"

After 2.

Balz™ beat me too it.

"Sweet" in a sickly or corny kind of way.

Thanks. Webster's wouldn't tell me.

Wouldn't tell you, eh? I'll beat it out of the little bastard!

DG

HA! You have ways of making him talk, no?

AHHHHHH!!! 80'S FLASHBACKS!

Maybe

much like Madonna

Yez ve haff. (But zoo ve also haff a blak lezzer trench koat, ve don't haff a Helga, a fine ekzampl ov Dzjerman wormwood^Wwermuth^Wvomanhoot).

Uh, thanks for the suggestions all .... but my plan was just asking for the information in a stern voice.

DG

yeah, he DOES get the lesbians to take their clothes off regularly.

You know, right after I hit reply .... I just KNEW that was coming.

DG

We're getting predictable.

See?



and

Sadly, it's like we've all been married to each other for 20 years ....

DG

how about we consummate, you cheeky monkey!

Not until after our first child!

DG

bald AND red!

sexy sexy monkey!

Just checked LDF and the White Fairy is ready for pre-order! Shipping in late january! Great!

I've already tried it a few weeks ago. Winston sent me a sample of it.

Was it good?

tee hee hee.
he must really like you to send you such a nice present.

It's grate!

Winnie is my buddy.

I'm a fucking rip-off artist!

only when he goes to a renne faire.
otherwise he's a white fairy.

Winnie sent me a sample of his blood. It tasted like shite.

White Fairy is up on LDF's site for preorder now!!

It's here, and I will taste it a bit later. No productivity today.
